Every person on this planet should be equal, it shouldnt matter if you are rich or poor, old or young, religious, white or black;
The world around us is slowly dying, and once it has gone there will be no turning back

We hunt Elephants for ivory,
Tigers for pride, and Sharks simply because Spielberg made us think that everything with teeth had to be Jaws;
We leave children dying of hunger in Africa, whilst the rest of us are busy buying things we wont ever NEED from stores

We send young soliders to fight in wars that will never truly be won;
But we never stop to think about the parents who may never get to say goodbye to their Daughter or Son

Each day we leave millions of children all over the world to go hungry, whilst we just stuff ourselves with a selection of over indulgent feasts;
We kill millions more people than lions ever could, we may class ourselves as kings but deep down we must be the beasts

At night the fortunate ones get to tuck their children into bed, whilst others do not have a mattress let alone a home;
There are over 7 billion people on this planet so there is no reason for anyone to be left feeling alone

We know the icecaps are slowing melting, but i guess out of sight is out of mind;
They tell me ignorance is bliss, but i think its more like ignorance is blind

They tell me from space the oceans look so blue, but if we carry on the way we are going those same oceans will oneday be a darkened shade of black
The ocean is now our dumping ground but once all of these things have gone there will be no turning back
